All-day comfort and multiple ergonomic carry positions to keep baby close while enjoying everyday adventures. The award-winning baby carrier that made our name.

Carrying Positions

Ergobaby Carriers are comfortable for parents, ergonomic for baby, offer multiple carry positions and allow you to carry your baby from day 1.

Ergobaby is simply Better Parenting by Design.

Better Parenting by Design.

Comfortable for Parents:
The ergonomic design is so comfortable, you can wear the carrier longer because the padded shoulder straps and padded waistbelt evenly distribute baby's weight between your shoulders and hips.

Ergonomic for Baby:
The Ergobaby Carrier cradles your baby just the way you do with baby in a natural sitting position, aligning with the recommended carry position from the International Hip Dysplasia Institute.

Multiple Carry Positions:
Carry your child in three different positions: on the front, on the back and on the side.

Carry Your Baby from Day 1:
You can carry babies from newborn (with Infant Insert) to toddler (up to 45lb).

FAQs

Why do I need the infant insert and how long do I need to use it?

Our Infant Inserts (sold separately or included with Bundle of Joy) are designed so that you can safely and ergonomically carry your baby from early on. The Ergobaby Infant Insert was designed for use with babies from infancy to age 4-6 months (from 7-12 lbs) , or for babies more than 12 lbs but younger than 4 months or without strong and consistent head and neck control. It is designed to provide head and neck support and to ensure your newborn is correctly seated while in the Ergobaby Carrier.

The Infant Insert is designed to grow with your baby. The top rounded edge of the back and neck support padding can be folded outward to provide more padding and neck support for smaller infants.

The bottom pillow in the Infant Insert can be removed from the Insert and placed inside the carrier, with your baby sitting on top of it. Use of the pillow alone is for babies who are either too short to bend at the knees when seated in the Carrier or would like to be seated higher in the Carrier.

Use the shell of the Infant Insert without the pillow for larger or taller babies who still need head and neck support.

Once your baby can hold her/his head up for long periods of time and can be seated comfortably in an ergonomic position in the Carrier, the use of the Infant Insert is no longer necessary.

What is the weight limit of the Ergobaby Original Carrier?

Ergobaby recommends a weight limit of 45 pounds for its Original carrier. Our carrier will accommodate you as long as you and your baby are happy using it.

At what age can I carry my baby in the back carry position?

Each parent and child is different but usually around 6 months your baby will be ready to be carried on the back and parents are comfortable not having their baby in direct line of sight. Baby must have strong head and neck control and be comfortably sitted consistently in the carrier in an ergonomic, frog-leg position with knees even to hips. People with larger babies who are more developed may choose to put their baby in the back carry position even earlier than 6 months especially for longer carry times since many parents find it more comfortable to wear heavy babies on their backs.

What is the difference between the Ergobaby Original Carrier and the Performance Carrier?

Fabric: The Ergobaby Original Carriers are made from 100% Cotton fabric while the Performance Carriers feature a lightweight breathable mesh back panel to keep baby cool and is ideal for warmer climates.

Shoulder Straps: The Ergobaby Original carrier shoulder straps are cushier and more flexible for maximum everyday comfort, while Performance Carrier's shoulder straps are curved with a firmer padding and are ideal for back carrying. Still, they can both be worn in the front-inward, back and hip carry positions and for long durations of time, the fit is more about individual preferences.

Chest Strap: The Ergobaby Performance Carrier's chest strap is on a slider, for easy adjusting.

Weight range: Both Ergobaby Original and Performance carriers support babies up to 45 lbs.
